Marie-Philip Poulin joins Hayley Wickenheiser, Jayna Hefford and Danielle Goyette as 100-goal scorers for Canada
Captain Marie-Philip Poulin scored her 100th goal for Canada and added another for good measure in a 5-1 win over Czechia on Friday at the IIHF Women’s World Championship.
Poulin made it 4-1 at 2:16 of the third with another beauty. After taking the puck just outside the blue line, she went past Czechia defender Dominika Laskova like she was a traffic pylon before snapping a shot home. Canada, which scored twice on the power play in its opening win over Switzerland, failed to convert three power-play opportunities in a choppy second period. A goal by Turnbull, off a Jocelyne Larocque shot from the point through traffic, was a welcome relief for the Canadians at 18:57 of the period.
The previous fastest goal at the women’s worlds was 13 seconds in 1994. Eight different Americans scored in the rout.Canada opened Group A play with a 4-0 win over Switzerland on Wednesday while the Czechs edged Japan 2-1 in overtime Thursday. The Canadian women, who have never missed the podium in 21 prior trips to the tournament, are in search of their 13th world title.
